The email in the post is at the domain: msgden.com. This domain redirects to: https://www.msgsafe.io. Another encrypted email system. Seems pretty clear this may just be a marketing tactic to steal customers from ProtonMail.

#12Well, if Proton hosted the CSS or JS elsewhere other than their main server and someone did a MitM on those files, well ... yeah.
We don't use a CDN.

#13Interesting. I did receive an email about unread messages from Protonmail just yesterday. I haven't used it in years and don't remember ever getting emails to my other account either. Thought it seemed fishy, I just ignored it.
We sent out an update about security features.
Re: Someone claims to have hacked ProtonMail
#14Goofy hoax:
"The alleged hacker has been busy posting to various image boards and stating that they would send $20 in bitcoin to anyone who spread the word about this hack using the #Protonmail hashtag on Twitter". https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hacker-say-th...
"A closer reading of some of the claims, e.g. "circumventing the Geneva convention, underwater drone activities in the Pacific Ocean, and possible international treaty violations in Antarctica", etc, should also cause a reasonable observer to draw the same conclusion". https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/9xjrch/protonma...
